Same route for Don’t Push It

DON’T PUSH IT is likely to follow the same route as last year and have his final race ahead of the John Smith’s Grand National in the Pertemps Final at Cheltenham in a fortnight.

Jonjo O’Neill’s gelding was pulled up in that handicap hurdle last March but famously galloped to glory at Aintree a few weeks later under Tony McCoy.

Connections are keen on taking that path again, although he does hold an entry in the Wiltshire County Show Supporting Greatwood Gold Cup Handicap Chase at Newbury on Saturday.
